Kashita Miyagi

"For me, AKBoo48 is a chance to live."

Kashita Miyagi is one of the current members of AKB0048 as a kenkyuusei of the 151th generation. She is also known by the nicknames Miyachan (みやちゃん), Miya (みや) and Miyaya (みやや). By some of the members, she is also called Gun-Girl.

Personality
Usually, Miyagi acts like a nice, cute and polite girl to trick other. The real Miyagi is a cold and serios girl, who knows what she wants, esspacilly on the battle field. Despite acting nice and polite towards her senpai, she doesn't really sees them as senpai. There are only a few people, she respects. She has some very "interesting" ideas. She hates the fact, that she can't read but also doesn't lean it. She 'promises' herself often but never does it. She is afraid of deep water because she can not swim as well, she usually is afraid for a moment when hearing a ring tune. Both Fears are things, she never tells.

Skills
Miyagi has good battle skills and othen says, that she can be better. In real, she trusts her skills a lot. She is better with rifles than with Micsabers, because her mother teached her the usage of diffrent rifles and she preferes dancing over singing but the battle overall. Because of the lessons, her mother gave her, she probably has always a back-up plan.

Miyagi cares pretty much about her apparance. She needs usually something around an hour to make her hair.

She is also a good actress. This talent was used by her when she lived on Tekistar to trick other people and steel things. She wants to be an actress in the future. Her talent to trick people is often called by herself as her special talent. However, she isn't that good in tricking people who know her real self.

She left school with eleven and never was good in basic things like numeracy, reading and writing. Today, she can't read mostly every word, esspacilly with names, she has huge problems. She confuses Kanji often with modern art. Fortunately, many people, even some members, think, this is played by herself. At least, she needs the help of other members to write answers to her fan letters.

She often had prommised herself that she would learn reading and writing, but she probably never will do that.

Apparance
Miyagi has black, short hair which she usually wears in two pigtails. Her eyes are dark blue. Some days before she arrived on the Flying Get, she had cut her hairs down. Because of this, her hair is very short. Like every member of AKB0048, she has heart shaped sparkle in her hair and eyes.

Miyagi is sporty but usually wears cute and lovely clothes. Those clothes are usually with dark blue accessoires. Despite she says and also thinks, that she doesn't interesst for her apparance, she looks in every mirror.

Past
Miyagi grew on Tekistar up, a planet with the largest crime rate in the galaxy. Because of this, she leave school with 11. Then, she wanted to be like her mother and her grandmother, so there wasn't a reason for school. Despite she quiet school, she always says to her brother, that school is important. She started to learn to steal things with 5 and her mother teached her to use a gun as she was 8 years old. She knew AKB0048 since her chieldhood and also entertainment but wasn't very interest to join.

Auditions
As Miyagi was 14, her mother was injured during a job. Her mother was a long time in the hospital and Miyagi ran out of money. Just as she went on a rampage, she saw a television broadcast of AKB0048 and came up with an idea. Miyagi knew, that her mother had still enought money, but she decided, that she wanted a better and more safe life then her mother. She decided to join AKB0048. She audditioned for the 151st generaton, despite, she didn't trust her skills. After she send the auddition, she telled her plan to her little brother, Shouta. He supported her, even he was afraid of a life without his sister, who had protected him from others. Miyagi told him, that this was something like a new beginning for her. She cut her hair down them.

River Selecion
While arriving on the Flying Get, she met her Kirara. She named it "Zelle", because she first thought, it would be a big cell. Fortunately, Miyagi made it through the first round, without great dancing or singing skills. Perhaps her idol like appearance helped her. Later, she met Honoka and started to become something like friends with her. She wasn't able to wait on the selection.

Later, she was in the rifle-group along with Honoka, who helped her some minutes ago with the group names. Miyagi was in the rifle-group and soon had the idea to "play a battle" because Honoka said, that she first should ask Motomiya-san, she went asking her. Later, the idea was allowed.

When Motomiya-san announced the break, Miyagi and Honoka went together to the canteen. There, they met the other soon-to-be members of the 151st generation and as well Aoi, Mariko and Ai. The girls talked about diffrent things.

When the girls went back to training, Miyagi had an one-to-one fight with Honoka. Later, both girls fight against the others. When the other girls arrived, they first fought everyone against everyone, later they played a game called 'ghost ball'. Miyagi was the ghost.

Selection battle
When the day finally came, Miyagi was the only of the auditioners who was calm and not nervous. After she spoke with Honoka and Ai, she and Honoka went to the hangar for the battle. While the battle, Miyagi worked with diffrent girls to protect the concert. While RESET, she worked with Akari, Honoka, later also with Ashley and Zoey and passed the selection.

Her new sister
While she was a kenkyuusei, her mother telled her through a letter, that Shouta, Miyagi's little brother, had found an unconscious girl next to their house. She didn't remeber anything about her and didn't knew anything about Tekistar, she even didn't knew that humans don't live on the earth anymore. Miyagi's family adopted her. Miyagi didn't like the fact, because she knew, that her mother didn't need someone more. Akane, which she was named now, worked to help her new family, but Miyagi still didn't like her.
